Terms of Use
Last updated September 26, 2026
These terms apply to thehouseroast.com ("the site"), run by The House Roast ("we," "us"). By using the site or posting a comment, you agree to these terms, our Posting Rules and our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.
1. What the site is
The House Roast publishes opinions, commentary and satire about homes that are publicly listed for sale, and lets the public comment and guess what homes will sell for. It's entertainment and public discussion.
- Not real estate, legal, financial or appraisal advice. We are not a real estate broker, agent, appraiser, lender or inspector. Don't make decisions based on the site. Talk to licensed professionals and read the official listing and disclosures.
- Not affiliated with Zillow, any MLS, any brokerage, or the sellers or agents of the homes shown. Links to Zillow and Google Maps are for your convenience.
- Information may be wrong or out of date. Prices, status and facts come from public sources and change often. Crowd price guesses are opinions, not valuations.
2. Who can use the site
You must be at least 13 years old to post. You're responsible for what you post and for following the law where you live.
3. Your comments
- Comments are public. Anyone can read them, and search engines may index them.
- You keep ownership of what you write. By posting, you give us a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to display, store, reproduce and share your comment on the site and in our social media and promotion of the site, including quotes of your comment with its display name.
- You confirm that your comment is your own, follows the Posting Rules, and doesn't break any law or anyone else's rights.
- We may hide, remove or decline to publish any comment at any time, for any reason, and we may block anyone from posting. We're not obligated to keep any comment online.
- Comments reflect the views of the people who post them, not The House Roast.
4. Verified sellers
Owners and listing agents can request a SELLER badge. We may ask for proof, such as a real estate license number or ownership records, and we may refuse or remove a badge at our discretion. Replies from verified sellers are informal and don't replace official disclosures.
5. Things you may not do
- Break the Posting Rules.
- Scrape, copy or republish the site's content in bulk, or use bots to post, vote or guess prices.
- Try to break, overload or get around the site's security or moderation.
- Use the site to harass, discriminate, defame, or invade anyone's privacy.
6. Our content
The roasts, design, logo and name "The House Roast" belong to us. You can share links and short quotes with credit. Maps and imagery are provided by Google and OpenStreetMap under their own terms.
7. Copyright complaints
If you believe something on the site infringes your copyright, email hello@thehouseroast.com with: your contact information; a description of the work; the page link and the material you want removed; a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use isn't authorized; and a statement, under penalty of perjury, that your notice is accurate and that you own the rights or are authorized to act for the owner, with your physical or electronic signature. We'll respond promptly and may remove the material. We may disable accounts or block people who repeatedly infringe.
8. Removal and correction requests
To report a comment, correct a fact in a roast, or ask us to remove personal information, email hello@thehouseroast.com with the page link and details. We review every request. We don't remove opinions just because they're negative.
9. Disclaimers
The site is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including accuracy, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We don't promise the site will be available, error-free or secure.
10. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, The House Roast won't be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, data or goodwill, arising from your use of the site or from content posted by others. Our total liability for any claim relating to the site is limited to $100.
11. Indemnity
If your comments or your use of the site lead to a claim against us, you agree to cover our reasonable costs, including legal fees, to the extent the law allows.
12. Changes and ending access
We may change the site or these terms at any time. The "last updated" date shows the latest version, and continuing to use the site means you accept the changes. We may suspend or end access to the site for anyone.
13. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California. Any dispute will be handled in the state or federal courts located in San Diego County, California, unless the law requires otherwise.
